The afternoon brought us to a fun, family-oriented reception. There were at least 350 people and tons of kids. It was great! The color for this wedding was royal blue, with accents of rose pink and burgundy. The tables had three different alternating centerpieces with flowers and candles on burgundy accent cloths.
Diane was so beautiful in her white gown with small cap sleeves and beaded accents. She wore a gorgeous headband-type veil with embellishments around the edge. Diane’s Bridesmaids wore royal blue knee-length dresses with small cap sleeves. Michael wore a black tux with a white vest and tie and his Groomsmen wore royal blue vests and ties.
After dinner, it was time for the toasts and cake cutting. Diane’s cake had three round, stacked, ivory tiers, with a bride and groom cake topper. Each tier had scroll accents and pink roses. Michael’s chocolate cake was in the shape of Texas and had a star, rifle, and sword on top. After the cake cutting, it was on to the special dances. To open the dance floor to all, we started off with the Anniversary Dance. The longest married couple had been married for 61 years. What a great inspiration! Then, after some words of advice to Michael and Diane, it was party time!
After some fun dancing, we stopped for something called Schnitzelbank. It’s a German song/drinking game. Diane’s Grandfather led it by singing a verse, and then all the guests sang the answer. It was our first time seeing it and it was a lot of fun. Later in the evening came the Bouquet and Garter tosses, and then the guests danced the night away until the end. Michael and Diane ran through their family and friends waving ribbon tied wands, and headed off to their new life together. Congratulations Diane and Michael!
